About this tour
Climb Mount Batur in the dark to catch sunrise from the 1717-metre summit, a 10-hour shared trek based in Bali. You'll ascend via the main Toyabungkah route, passing through cool mountain air before reaching the peak where temperatures drop to around 15°C. The tour includes a pre-dawn coffee plantation visit, cooked breakfast, guide services, and a soak in the geothermal hot springs afterwards. A warung near the summit serves hot drinks during your rest stop.

What to expect
You'll start well before sunrise, climbing in darkness with headlamps alongside other trekkers. The ascent takes roughly 1.5 hours on well-worn paths, gaining elevation steadily. As you climb higher, the air gets noticeably colder and thinner. Near the top you'll reach a small warung where locals sell hot beverages. Once the sun breaks the horizon, the views across Bali's volcanic landscape sprawl beneath you. The descent is gentler on the knees but longer. After returning downhill, you'll have time to cool off in the naturally heated pools before heading home.
Good to know
Bring a torch and warm layers—it gets cold before sunrise. Moderate fitness required; the hike suits regular walkers but not those with mobility issues. Minimum two people per booking. Not suitable if pregnant. Lunch isn't included, so eat beforehand. Public transport is nearby if you need alternatives.
